The Big Bang Theory

The Paintball Scattering - S12-E11

Other mistake: When Penny and Leonard are in the paintball shack, Leonard won't shoot Penny because they are too close and it would hurt. Penny doesn't believe him, but eventually, he shoots her in the chest, and she says in pain, "You're right, we're way too close." But Penny should already know what this feels like; she was shot in the chest from close range in a paintball shack by Sheldon in one of the earlier seasons when she shot his cushion with a paintball. So this feeling shouldn't surprise Penny in S12.

Suggested correction: There are 10 years between the 2 episodes. It is easy to assume that over a decade someone can forget how something felt.

Mistakes

The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Factual error: There is not a snowball's chance of Howard becoming an astronaut. He suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, something about which he is completely open. "Transient" or not this is easily detectable by a simple electrocardiogram, which is a fundamental part of the many medical examinations a potential astronaut will have to pass. He wouldn't even be allowed to start basic training. Note also that during his basic training he shows signs of severe stress and trauma which would inevitably trigger a cardiac episode. Even if it didn't the fact that he was falling apart at the seams would have him removed from the programme for his own good.

Trivia

Trivia: During Season 3, the producers learned of a show called "The Theorists" in the country of Belarus that was a copy of this show. A lawsuit for copyright infringement would have been pointless since the production company for "The Theorists" was owned by the Belarus government. A lawsuit, however, was not needed because when the actors and actresses found out the show was a rip-off this one, they promptly quit and "The Theorists" was cancelled.

Questions

Show generally

Question: How come Raj has no problem speaking to his mother, but, when around other women, such as Penny, he immediately stops talking? Also, why does he have to whisper in someone's ear if he wants to ask Penny something?

Answer: Because Raj's selective mutism seems to be caused by women that Raj sees (on some sort of conscious or subconscious level) as a potential sexual partner. An attribute that wouldn't apply to either his sister or mother.
